sausages

• to answer your question, i do. "e-SO-SI-CHE-ES". go on, say it out loud. it's from a bunch of spaghetti with sausage sauce. i wondered why they'd called it what they did and then it hit me and i groaned. sorry you can't see it. perhaps you'd like to explain what it means if it doesn't mean that? --Evilkolbot 20:16, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
  • ok you did. i still think mine is worse. what have socks got to do with anything? --Evilkolbot 20:18, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

      • you posting on the forums (from, it appears the first result from google for the phrase itself) proves nothing. i ask again. what have socks got to do with anything? especially an item made from bleeding SAUSAGES. --Evilkolbot 20:28, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
        • Jesus Christ man, SPELL SOCKS. Out loud. Skullhead also mentioned two posts after mine that it was chiefly a bi lingual joke. Back in the 90s there was a radio commercial that did the joke as well. S-O (eso) C (si) K (que) S (es). It spells SOCKS.--Erich 20:30, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
          • i'm not disagreeing with you about that. you, and the rest of the internet, are absolutely right. however, i would still contend that if you say the phrase out loud as outlined in the first post you'll hear sausages. which, i contend, is entirely appropriate for the name, given its genesis. and i still don't get what any of this has to do with socks. --Evilkolbot 20:35, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
            • Ok. Put it back then. I think its entirely wrong, but I could be wrong as well, and I apologize for my snark. I just think that wasn't intended, as it's a stretch to assume that you'd take a regional pronunciation as an approach to an already established joke, despite it being plausible if you really attempt to stretch it.--Erich 20:42, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
